Opening Hours | Getting Here | Accessibility
Our small museum, the RSA Interpretation Centre, is located in the base of the clocktower of the Factory’s former Main Machine Shop, forming part of the modern RSA Island Centre. Opened in 2001 we have steadily expanded the collection and are always looking out for objects associated with either the Factory or its products.
Opening Hours
Our opening hours are by appointment on weekdays only. For access please contact us to plan your visit.
We also open for special occasions and take part in London Open House weekend, when you can climb the ladder to the top of the tower and view our turret clock. You can also meet former workers from the factory to learn about day to day working life here.

Accessibility
The RSA Interpretation Centre is wheelchair accessible on the ground floor only. Due to the age of the building and its listed status we are currently unable to arrange wheelchair access to the top of the clock tower. Our staff are happy to assist in you viewing objects in the collection and can arrange object handling sessions if needed, subject to availability. We have wheelchair accessible toilets on site. If you require door-to-door access to the museum, please phone the office when you reach our car park. We can lower the access control bollard onto Island Centre Way itself.
